The topic of recent discussion is the importance of answering a call to 96110. A netizen locked his phone for not answering the call, raising questions about the authenticity of the number. So what exactly is 96110? Let's uncover this mystery together.
The official response is that you must answer the 96110 call
Recently, a netizen broke the news that he received a strange phone call, the other party claimed to be a staff member, and the tone was to help him dissuade a fraud case against him, and this netizen never realized that he would become the target of a fraud case.
An even more bizarre thing happened a few days later, when the netizen's mobile phone suddenly couldn't receive text messages, and he couldn't make calls and use data, and he was told that the phone was locked by the operator when he got to the business hall.
The other staff said that this is to prevent you from being defrauded of the property because you did not answer the call to 96110.
This netizen suddenly realized that the strange number was 96110, but how could ordinary people know this number?
Even if some information about 96110 was exposed on the Internet, it has not been officially confirmed, and everyone thinks that this is a new routine of scammers.
Prior to this, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also repeatedly reminded the general public to guard against the harm of fraud, but the specific way to do it has not been explained, and the 96110 number has never appeared in any announcement.
Therefore, many people are quite skeptical of the official response, thinking that the staff was perfunctory to this netizen after the fact, and it was not really because they did not answer the call to 96110 and were locked out.
Even if this person lied, but there has really been more than one similar case, what is going on?
Let's first understand what 96110 is.
96110 line
In fact, 96110 is a national anti-fraud early warning and dissuasion line set up by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which is used to prevent the occurrence of fraud cases, if you receive a strange call, the other party claims to be a staff member of the public security organ or communication operator, telling you that you may have been deceived, and directing you to the 96110 line.
The staff of 96110 will verify your identity and explain the situation, and if the other party thinks that you are indeed suspected of being scammed, then they will give you some preventive suggestions in the follow-up communication, and at the same time assist you in reporting the crime.
The reason why 96110 is a special line is because it only serves one thing, and that is to prevent citizens from being deceived.
Although the popularity of the 96110 number is still very low at present, if you really receive this call, I still hope that you can call back in time to avoid accidental locking in the future.
Is the lock warning measure too tough?
However, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also expressed its shock at the online lock-up incident, after all, it had never heard of locking the phone to prevent being deceived.
According to past experience, the industry and information technology department has always reminded citizens to guard against fraud through various means, from TV advertisements to bulletin boards to mass text messages, although the effect is not very obvious, but the industry and information technology department has never given up propaganda and dissuasion work.
The sudden introduction of tough measures this time made even the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology itself feel a little incredible.
What's more, the public does not know the purpose of 96110, is it unreasonable for the industry and information technology department to force a call back?
In response to such doubts, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology did not explain too much, only emphasizing that the call back is to prevent you from being deceived.
Whether or not this is too tough, we strongly recommend that you keep the number 96110 in mind and be prepared if you receive a call, even if you are in danger of being locked out.
Because being deceived is an unexpected loss for most people, and this 96110 is like an accident insurance, I hope that everyone can receive less and less harassing calls, instead of being deceived.
